For me one of the cruelest parts of this illness is I can’t cry

I remember when I was becoming psychotic for the first time around 19 crying really helped me. I feel like crying releases built up emotions. Much of the time were taught as men not to cry and I think there may be something to that, but once in a while a guy has got to have a good cry. It’s part of being human.

I think meds that stabilize tend to squash the highs and the lows… They sort of numb the pain but also numb the happy times. Gotta find the silver lining I guess.

I almost never cry. Only if im seriously unwell. But i dont get affected by situations or films or whatever. Im very calm in emergency situations.
